Wet and wild: Man’s book about his erotic love affair with a dolphin

It’s official: dolphins are wanton, promiscuous tarts! I’m not sure this is the kind of publicity the makers of the film A Dolphin’s Tale will appreciate, but here it is: Malcolm Brenner has written a book about his claim that he had a physical love affair with a dolphin named Dolly in the 1970s. Not only that, but it was an amusement park dolphin. The book was actually released last year, but the story got new life when Brenner was interviewed recently by syndicated radio host Todd Clem, aka Bubba the Love Sponge.

In the book, Wet Goddess: Recollections of a Dolphin Lover, Brenner claims he started his relationship with Dolly when he was in his early 20s and a sophomore at New College of Florida in Sarasota.

A writer hired Brenner to take photographs for a children’s book about the dolphin show at an amusement park in nearby Nokomis. He was given free access to the park and introduced to the staff.

If Brenner is to be believed, the dolphin courted him.

Initially, “she became more and more aggressive,” said Brenner, who lives in Punta Gorda, Fla. “She would thrust herself against me.”

But over time, Dolly became more gentle, he claimed.

“I found that extraordinarily erotic,” Brenner said. “It’s like being with a tiger or a bear. This is an animal that could kill you in two seconds if it wanted to.”

My favorite excerpt:

“What is repulsive about a relationship where both partners feel and express love for each other?” Brenner asked. “I know what I’m talking about here because after we made love, the dolphin put her snout on my shoulder, embraced me with her flippers and we stared into each others’ eyes for about a minute.”

He’s not married, but Brenner said he has two ex-wives who knew about his fling with Dolly.

“Neither one objected,” Brenner said.

Brenner is now a freelance writer and photographer. He wrote the book in 1973, and excerpts were printed in Penthouse magazine (dolphin centerfold?) in 1974. He said he’d have another fling with a dolphin “if the opportunity arose.”

Yikes.

Dolphin porn?
